SYSTEM TO MONITOR A CONSUMABLE PART AND METHOD TO MONITOR PERFORMANCE LIFE AND PREDICT MAINTENANCE THEREOF - A method for determining a maintenance interval for a consumable part and/or for equipment containing a consumable part obtains a plurality of measurements of temperature of the consumable part, receives each of the measurements at a totalizing unit, correlates each of the measurements to one of a plurality of temperature subranges, accumulates for each of the subranges an amount of time the measurements of temperature were correlated to each of the subranges, determines a total time by aggregating the accumulated time for each subrange with a weighting function, and generates a signal to prompt a maintenance event when the total time equals or passes a runtime setpoint. In supplement to or in alternative to the above, the method also correlates a subrange of two sequential measurements, indexes a breakpoint register if the correlated subranges are different, and generates a signal to prompt a maintenance event when a value of the breakpoint register equals or passes a breakpoint setpoint. A system for collecting, storing, and displaying runtime data of a resistive heating element in a semiconductor processing unit is also disclosed.

WRENCH-BASED TAP AND DIE HOLDERS - A threading tool, such as a tap or die holder, is configured to be driven by a generic wrench. The tool is provided with a wrench-engageable surface, such as a faceted cylindrical surface, or a cylinder with a polyhedral cross-section perpendicular to its axis. A outwardly extending peripheral flange, downward from the wrench-engageable surface, contacts and allows an open-backed wrench to exert downward force on the tool. A inwardly extending peripheral groove, downward from the wrench-engageable surface, allows a wrench to insert a holding device into the profile of the tool to hold the wrench and tool together. The holder may have a collet that activates the holding function by moving along the axis of the holder, but the collet is prevented from rotating about the axis of the holder. The collet may have a wrench-engageable surface. A collar, threaded to the holder, moves the collet.

DYNAMICALLY CONSTRAINED, FORWARD SCHEDULING OVER UNCERTAIN WORKLOADS - Scheduling searchable items such as web pages for crawling involves dynamically scheduling items for downloading based on capacity based on time. The workload is distributed over time, in advance, by anticipating and accounting for the discovery of new links on the particular host. Respective times to download items can be determined based on the current size of the host's crawl corpus relative to the maximum size of the host's crawl corpus. The respective times may be determined based additionally on respective freshness targets for the searchable items, which characterize how often an item's content should be refreshed by re-downloading the item, and on respective politeness factors for the host, which characterize the delay time between consecutive download requests to that host. As such, one can know precisely how the system is performing at any point in time and predict future performance.

DYNAMIC TRAIL TERMINATION POINT CREATION FOR OPTICAL TRANSPORT NETWORKS - The present disclosure provides dynamic service provisioning by creating embedded Optical Transport Network (OTN) ports on the fly during mesh restoration or circuit provisioning. These dynamically provisioned ports are referred to herein as “fast paths” with all the management objects created in a “slow path” so that they do not interfere with mesh restoration performance. During network failures, these dynamically created objects are deleted via the “slow path” and a new mesh path supports “fast path” creation of these objects. This results in substantial increase in mesh performance and also provides enhancements for operators allowing a “Click and Go” model to provision circuits across a network. This also reduces routing scaling issue as the routing itself is against the OTU level and not against the embedded lines.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROGRAMMING CONNECTIONS THROUGH A MULTI-STAGE SWITCH FABRIC WITH BLOCKING RECOVERY, BACKGROUND REBALANCING, AND ROLLBACK - The present invention provides systems and methods for programming connections through a multi-stage switch fabric. The present invention utilizes load-balancing, blocking recovery, background rebalancing, and rollback algorithms to select and manage connection balance on center stage switches in the multi-stage switch fabric for new and modified connections. The load-balancing algorithm attempts to spread the multi-connection slices across center stage switches as evenly as possible, to increase the probability that future multi-connection slices can be added without needing to rearrange existing slices. Advantageously, the present invention is efficient by making the best possible local decision for one multi-connection slice at a time, without considering other multi-connection slices that may also need center switch assignments. Additionally blocking recovery, rollback and background rebalancing features are also supported.
